What I did Today

What I did today was a little crazy, at least I almost went crazy!  We are house sitting for my parents and dad said we could have anything we picked from his garden, sooooooooooo, today I needed to pick cucumbers and  green beans as well as weed my tomatoes.  I manged to get the tomatoes weeded while the boys napped, but unfortunately they didn't sleep long enough for me to get to my picking. Rats!   So after pondering for a while how exactly you pick produce with two babies in tow; this is what I came up with:

One:  Strap the 1 1/2 year old in the stroller

Two: Keep the 2 1/2 year old from running the 1 1/2 year old into any thing

Three: Convince the 2 1/2 yr old that he does want to pick "baby pickles"

Four: Pick as fast as you can! 

(while preventing the 2 1/2 yr old from stepping on and smashing all living vegetation)

Scotty liked "gardening" for most of the time :-)

Where does the time go?

How have I gotten so behind on blogging?  Where does the time go?  Believe me, I have very good intentions of  staying up to date and writing witty and inspiring post for all the world to see!  Every time something, cute, funny, tragic or just down right annoying happens during my very average and normal days I start mentally writing my blog post to depict it.  But some how it always stays a mental post. And by the time I get to a computer, and have two minutes to think *poof* my mental masterpiece has vanished leaving behind only the vague realization that once upon a time I actually thought of something clever to write.   So that is that.


Now on to life.

It keeps on moving, just like my busy and mischievous little boys.  Davers and Scotty keep me busy.  Stephen keeps me grounded and laughing and everyday life, well it just gives me something to do and a million moments to pray to God for the strength to make it through another day.

So here are a few pictures to catch you up on the growth of my little family . . .
